Walking Backwards

Well, once again I have been screwed by both RoadRunner cable service and by Blogger itself. I wrote an entry on Tuesday afternoon, forsaking the homework I was supposed to be doing, and when I started to post it, Blogger went down. I thought it was just an admonition for shirking my work. So, on Wednesday I waited until after my philosophy class and the page wouldn't come up because my cable modem was down. It really is making me start to rethink my New Year's resolution to write three entries a week since the powers that be seem against it. I can only hope that this message will reach you (amazing how close losing the internet is to being stranded on a desert island.

Joe just got home from an overnight maintenance about thirty minutes ago and is fast asleep. As soon as he wakes up, we are going to be heading to Houston for a weekend away. My mom got Joe and I tickets to Cirque du Soliel and we are probably going to go to the Houston museum of art. I'm so excited. Nicholas is going to stay with his grandparents and hang out with his cousin. I have loads of homework and a ton of stuff to do around the house, but I just need some time off. I hope we leave early enough to go have kolaches at Hruska's. Last time we drove in to Houston, we got there right as they were closing and they had hardly any thing. Of course they had the kolaches Joe gets, but they didn't have mine and they didn't have the apricot pastries that Nicholas eats.

Well, I am going to leave this entry for now. I'll try to record another entry sometime today so that I can get in my three for the week (hope, hope), but Nicholas almost deleted this one when I got up to take his breakfast out of the oven. I don't think I should push my luck. It hasn't been that great lately.
